young contemporary. Will. E. Bundy,

young friend is right-we have no
time nor taste for newspaper quarrels.
In fact, we have no quarrel with any
man. Our enemies are Democracy

straightforward way, and are pleased
that Bundy is making manly fight
in the same direction. Men will be
envious and narrow-minded sometimes,

We publish this week the call for
the Republican County Convention.
We trust that every Republican in
Jackson County will make up his
mind that this Convention shall be a
representative one in the true sense;
that the old time Republicanism shall
be the distinguishing feature of the
Convention and its work. There seems
to be prospect of contest over more
than one nomination, and unfortu-
nately these contests have heretofore
left some bitterness. Friends, the
success of the party is certainly more
important than the ambition of any
man. Let us go into this Convention
as Republicans who desire the success
Of the Republican party above all
things.

The Commercial Gazette publishes
the report of a correspondent, making
over three columns in fine type, the
burden OF which is to prove that while
the murder of DR.. Northup was bru-
tai, premeditated murder, the murdered
man was not party Prohibitionist,
but Temperance Republican. Well,
let's take that view of it. The Nc
Coys were keeping low doggery, and
killed Northup because, being Tenn
perance man, he had interfered with
their business, to some extent Now
the kind of "Republicanism" the Conn
mercial Gazette and its little gang Of
followers advocate, is that of Mccoy,
the Democratic doggery-keeper from
Kentucky. If any man dares to advo-
cate the Republicanism Of DR.. North
up, he must be put out of the way, in
some manner. The Republicans of
Jackson County, and the State of
Ohio, are asked to endorse the Mccoy
style of politics, and denounce the
Northup style, 1t is getting to be
about time to stop fooling with such
murderous nonsense. The time is
shortly coming when every man who
sticks himself up for Office, on the line
Of the doggery and the Devil, will be
promptly knocked down. That time
ought to be here now. A Republi-
eanism which consists of whisky and
Democracy is not the kind the coun-
try wants.

the Ex-Confederate General Rosser
publicly proclaimed that Sheridan
should not, Or would not, be allowed
to go through the valley, or similar
high-sounding words. This boast of
the windy Confederate called out the
publication Of Sheridan's report of his
last meeting with Rosser, in 1864.

large force of Cavalry under Rosser,
running Rosser and his men pell-mell
for twenty-six miles. That is the way

wood Stew. IN Northern slberIa,

We have all had our sympathies aroused
by statements that the natives Of north
ern Siberia are often during famines
compelled TO resort TO wood for food.
Now, the fact is that careless observers
have simply been imposed upon or they
have jumped at conclusions without car
ing or perhaps being able TO make inqui-
ries, and because they thought that O
statement Of these views would make a
heartrending page for their books, and by
inference show what a distressing time
they themselves must have had among
such surroundings. Wood in a certain
form Is a most common and constant
article Of diet on the Lena river, all along
the north coast and in the immediate
neighborhood Of Yakutsk-in fact, wher-
ever the Yakut resides. North Of Ver-
choyansk, except in few sheltered val
leys, IL may he said there Is no other
wood than the larch, and for miles south
of tho tree limit absolutely no other.
The natives eat II because they like Il.
Even when fish arc plentiful it usually
forms part Of the evening meal, as the
many cleanly stripped larch logs near
every hut testify. They know by expert
ence that the fact Of their eating wood
arouses the sympathies Of strangers, and
shrewdly use il to excite pity and TO OBJ

Discovery Of an Old Morse War Ship.

No object so thoroughly fascinated me
in visit TO Norway and Sweden during
the summer Of 1852 as the splendid ex-
ample of ancient shipping discovered
shortly before at Gokstad, ON one of the
peninsulas of southern Norway. The
length from stem to stern over all is
7S feet. the keel alone measuring GO feet.
The breadth Of beam is 10 1-2 feet, and
the depth. about feet. Oak alone was
used in the construction, the body being
unpainted, while the stem and stern posts
were decorated. The planks were laid
on over the frame timbers in our lap
streak style, each overlapping the one
below it, and were fastened together with
iron bolts riveted and clinched upon the
inside .'clinker built" as we now call
it. The planking was lashed to the
frames by means of projections, with
wicker like cords or withes. made from
the roots Of trees; and the seams were
calked with hair Of cattle spun into a
cord of three strands, and this was not
driven into the crevices, but laid in when
the ,planking was put together.
Frou this method Of construction, as
well as from the character of the relics
found and the use of the vessel as q
means Of sepulture. Mr.. Nicolaysen infers
that it was built during the later iron
age, or between A. d. 700 and 1000.-
